This is excellent.

I Asked an AI Chatbot for My Data. I Didn't Expect a Psychological Profile.

@caffetino @thelocalstack the data collection is atrocious. But the most telling part of it for me is the "confession" at the end which I hope has been written by the human, rather than a generator. It's where the "author" takes on the mentality of a broken addict. They know these products are predatory, they also assume if they wrote the article themselves it would have been worse, and they feel like their continued use is inevitable.

Is this article a clever marketing ploy or a cry for help?

@simpleanecdote @caffetino my goal was to highlight the contradictions of the big tech companies that tell that they are not doing something wrong and that there is nothing fishy going on, with irony and witty content. As English is not my first language and I have 0 exp in writing I used AI,but ideas behind and the research are my own. I promise that in the future I will try to find my own way of writing even if it sounds imperfect. Thanks for the observation and the feedback

@thelocalstack @caffetino thank you for replying. English is not my first language either so i understand your trepidation. I appreciated the article, I was torn between feeling compassion for your plight and feeling it could be a marketing ploy. I myself have struggled with addiction, which is why I read it in your words. I hope you find a way forward free of "AI". Maybe step by step, like first writing yourself and then using LLMs to check and suggest improvements. Use it to learn.
